New Simple and Compound Steps

TODO (you can help!):

• See http://exproc.org/proposed/steps/ and make entries below
• See http://xmlcalabash.com/docs/reference/ (looking at extension steps) and make entries below

Sorting

Should we have a p:sort? What would it look like?

• xsl:sort provides one possible model—how much would we use?

Validation with error

Is there a way to have validation not require try/catch to access error messages? So that we could stream validation?

• Try-catch cannot be streamed. If there is an error, however late in the day, there is nothing on the primary output

Map-reduce

Some kind of support for scatter-gather/map-reduce/whatever-you-like to call it

• Does this need anything we don’t have already?

Iterate until condition

Repeat a step (group?) until some XPath expression is satisfied, feeding its output back as input after the first go-around

• Reference xsl:iterate
• Special built-in support for iterate to fixed-point?
  • iterate-to-fixed-point already implemented as an extension step in Calabash: ex:until-unchanged

Dynamic pipeline execution

Run a pipeline whose XML representation is input

Can you elaborate?

Long-form viewport

With an intrinsic built-in switch
